Many (both here and on other sites) seem to think this is Ubi trying to make up for messing up with Rayman. Entirely possible, and wouldn’t put it past them.

I’m just happy to see WiiU eShop games getting discounted, as I was afraid that it’d end up like 360 (and to a slightly better extent, PSN) where the digital versions remained expensive and would never have price drops. (Such as those you quite often see in retail or on amazon)

I hope they will have those discounts in EU soon. I sold my ZombiU so i could download it from eshop and play it without switching discs.

I don’t know why people assume this is somehow an “apology” from Ubisoft. I don’t think it’s that at all. I just think that their Wii U games didn’t sell as well as they would’ve liked and they’re taking the opportunity to try and salvage what they can of the situation.

Is it a nice gesture? Yes, it’s good for the consumer. But I don’t necessarily think that this should be misconstrued as some sort of an apology for the Rayman issue.

It’s probably the timing of the situation.

After all, turning their fortunes around doesn’t quite make sense either, given that they’re holding off on releasing a finished game right now, during what may be the best possible release window for it and instead sending it off to die an overshadowed multiconsole death by releasing alongside GTA V… like its predecessor.

I agree, and if you’ve got the console and wanted one of those titles it just gives you more of a reason to take make the purchase.
